A/N: So, it's been a week or two, and I have been desperately trying to figure out how to proceed with this story. Do I write about the last months of the school year, or do I just dive into the summer? I've been debating with myself over that question and I finally decided to dive into the tragedy that will jump into the characters' lives and hope for the best. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It is a little difficult to write, because it is actually based on what happened in my life once upon a time.

Now, on with it…

DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters… the story is mine.

June

"No more school… no more school… no more school…" The chant was being continued by most of the students around me. I was walking to my locker one final time this year. Inside I would find an almost empty book bag with just a couple classics and a pencil or two. We had turned in our books, cleaned out our lockers, and tidied up our things last week. This meant that the last five days of "classes" were pretty much pointless.

Edward was holding my hand as we walked first to my locker. I had barely opened the door when he reached inside to grab my things. Then we were walking towards his locker. He carried his and my things as we made our way out to Emmett's jeep. Today we had planned to head to the beach. Most students would be returning to the school tonight for graduation, but we decided to spend the rest of the day at the beach, hopefully avoiding most of the annoying classmates for at least one day this summer.

On the drive to the beach, Edward's hand grasped mine while his thumb rubbed soothing circled along the back of my hand. We sat silently side by side in the back seat as Emmett drove. Alice was sitting on Jasper's lap beside me. Rose and Emmett were talking about the different possibilities for summer jobs while Alice whispered in Jasper's ear. I looked over towards Edward and noticed that he was looking out the opposite window, away from me. I could tell there was something that was bothering him, but I wasn't sure what. I knew eventually he would tell me, but of course, my self-loathing thoughts began to wonder if he was finally tired of waiting for me, of waiting for a girlfriend who was more willing to sleep with her boyfriend.

It seemed as if our ride just as my mind was beginning to prepare myself for another breakup with Edward. Once we were parked, Edward released my hand to get things out of the back. Alice and Rose were pulling me towards a restroom so we could change into our swimming suits. Now that I was back home, I had retired the skimpy navy bikini from spring break and opted for my slightly boring black one piece. I felt comfortable in this suit, but as I was pulling it out, I noticed Alice looking sadly at me. She shook her head and then grabbed the suit out of my hands.

"Hey! Alice give me back my suit!"

"Bella… did spring break not leave any impression on you. You know how Edward reacted to that navy suit I bought you. Why would you want to take ten steps backwards with my brother?" Alice looked at me trying her best to give me a hurt puppy dog look.

"Alice… I don't want to push Edward. I have a feeling there's something he's not telling me. I have a feeling he's thinking about breaking up with me again. It doesn't really surprise me, I mean, I'm not ready to sleep with him and he's probably tired of waiting for me. Why am I so pathetic?"

"Bella… my brother loves you. He would wait forever for you. Trust me on this, that's not what he's hiding from you."

"But he is hiding something from me?" I looked over at Alice and saw her give a slight nod in response to my question.

"Am I going to like what he's hiding? I mean, is it some sort of surprise?" I knew the answer to this question before it was completely out of my mouth.

"Bella, I can't tell you this, I promised Edward that I wouldn't tell you. He's going to tell you. But would you do me a favor?"

I sighed. I kind of knew that Alice would tell me Edward's secret, but part of me had hoped that she would end the suspense. I looked at Alice warily and wondered what he favor would be. "What kind of favor?"

Alice got an evil glint in her eyes as she looked over at Rose. "Well, I brought you a swim suit because I had a feeling that you would revert back to your old self and wear something unacceptable. Obviously I was right. Will you agree to wear something else. I promise you this, Edward will definitely be speechless and at your mercy."

I sighed and agreed to at least consider the suit. I knew that that agreement was going to give Alice all the confirmation she needed, but my mouth literally went dry and fell open when she pulled out another skimpy bikini from her bag. This one was white with gold cording around the waist and neckline. It was pretty, but I didn't have the body for it. However, Alice practically pushed me into the changing room and impatiently tapped her toe on the tile floor.

When I stepped out from behind the curtain, Alice and Rose's jaws fell open and they practically tackled me in their attempts to pull me towards a mirror. Alice unclipped my hair and let the ends fall past my should. Some curls wove through my hair and I couldn't believe the image looking back at me. I was surprised that I looked decent in this suit. It was comfortable and beautiful at the same time.

"Alice…. I… this suit…" I searched my vocabulary for the best descriptive words but Alice and Rose cut me off before I could speak again.

"…is hot!! Bella you're a babe. Edward is going to fall over himself when you walk out there." Rose was pulling a brush from her back and ran it through her hair quickly before smoothing mine.

We linked arms and walked three across out the door and headed down the beach where we could see our boyfriends facing the water where they had set up our beach things.

Alice decided to get their attention by practically shouting to Rose across my body. "Rose, don't you think Bella looks amazing. I mean, she could be a model."

This comment caused three things to happen. One, I blushed and I was sure my entire head had turned the color of a tomato. Two, Edward, Emmett, and Jasper all turned and gawked at the three of us. Alice was wearing a black and pink bikini while Rose wore a red and white polka dot bikini. Once the boys turned around, all three of them dropped their jaws. Three, Mike Newton and his buddies Tyler and Eric whistled as we walked towards the boys. I saw Mike eyeing me like a piece of meat as I walked. I suddenly felt self conscious again. We reached our boyfriends and Alice and Rose let go of me as they linked their arms with their boyfriends instead.

Edward continued to stare at me while I just stood there. I began to cross my arms in front of me when he finally snapped to attention. He licked his lips and pulled me into a tight hug. "You look good enough to eat Bella," he whispered into my ear. I noticed his voice was slightly lower than normal and his breathing was uneven.

"Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself." I pulled back slightly for a moment to take a better look at him.

"Bella, do you want to go for a walk with me?" Edward asked as he grasped my hand.

I smiled back at him as I nodded my head. We walked barefoot along the surf. Edward's hand released mine to pull me closer to him as he slipped his arm around my shoulders. I sagged into him.

"Edward? What's up? You've been extremely quiet today, almost like you have a secret." I figured I would give him a little nudge and hoped he would tell me what was bothering him.

"You're right. I do have a secret. I found out last week… You're going to be disappointed." He looked over at me with hurt eyes.

I tried to keep my voice even as I spoke. "Edward. You're sort of scaring me. Did you… I mean, are you… are we…" my voice broke at the end. Even though Alice had told me that the answer was no, I wasn't sure anymore when Edward looked at me this way.

"Oh my God… No Bella. We're not breaking up, at least, I'm not breaking up with you. It's just that. We, that is, my family and I, are going away."

I looked at him. "You mean, like a summer vacation? That's nice for you guys."

He sighed and I saw his eyes begin to water. I had never seen Edward cry and it was scaring me. "No, Bella," he whispered. "We're moving. My dad got a new job and it's in Chicago. We're leaving in a month, at the end of July. Bella, I'm so sorry."

I couldn't speak. Edward was leaving me. Not that he really had a choice, I mean, his family was moving. Somehow, we had stopped walking. I didn't realize that I was crying until Edward had reached up and wiped away the silent tears falling from my cheeks. "Edward… I don't want to lose you. I want to be selfish and lock you up here so you don't leave me." I finally said.

"Bella, I don't want to lose you either. I love you." He leaned his forehead against mine as he wrapped his strong arms around my waist. We cried silently against each other telling each other how we loved the other.

After a while we pulled ourselves together and made a promise to one another. "Edward… We have a month and a half. Promise me that you and I will spend as much of that time together. I don't want us to have any regrets when you leave."

Edward promised and we walked back to where our friends and siblings were seated. It wasn't long after that when we decided to head home. Edward and I held each other closely while we rode quietly back towards out houses. Emmett dropped Rose and Jasper off first. Then he dropped Edward and Alice at their home. Once Emmett and I were alone he asked me what was wrong.

Emmett understood why I was so upset and didn't make any smart remarks. "Bella, just think about something for me. As your big brother, it's my duty to tell you this. I don't know how far you and Edward have gotten with each other, I don't think I want to know either. But don't do anything with him just because he's leaving. If you decide to do anything with him, do it because it's what you want, not because it's a going away thing… okay?"

I simply gawked at my older brother. He had never even come close to having any type of discussion about this sort of thing. I mean, our parents barely mentioned where babies came from. So I simply nodded and walked into our house. I went right up to my room and cried for a couple hours. I heard my mother come in my room at one point, but I was too upset to talk or acknowledge her.

Five Weeks Later

Edward and Alice's house was depressing. Everything was in boxes. Edward had told me that they had started eating on paper plates and plastic cups for a few days now. There were only a few things still in Edward's room that were unpacked. His bed still had sheets and blankets on it, but everything else was cleared off or taken out of the room. A lone picture of the two of us from this spring was sitting beside his bed.

Elizabeth, Alice, and Edward's dad had all left to get some more boxes for Alice's clothing and some supplies needed for the long drive ahead of the family. They would be leaving tomorrow as Edward's dad needed to start his job a week earlier than expected.

Edward and I sat silently on Edward's bed, just holding each other. "Bella… when I leave I want you to promise me something." Edward's voice was rough and I knew he was holding back his tears.

"Edward, what do you want me to do?" I had tears spilling over the edge of my eyes and running down my cheeks.

"I want you to find someone who will make you happy. Someone who will treat you with respect. Someone who will make you smile and laugh. Someone who deserves you. Someone…."

"Edward… you have my heart. I can't just find someone else." I reached up to kiss his lips to prove my point. I had meant the kiss to be loving and to show him that my heart did in fact belong to him. However, after a few seconds, the kiss deepened and our tongues were wrestling with one another.

Someone a few moment later I realized that we had leaned back and were lying side by side on Edward's bed. I pulled back from him to look up at his emerald eyes. They were slightly hooded, but he was looking back down at me. He simply gave me a look that showed he wasn't going to push me. This reminded me how much I loved him. Even now when we were going to be separated for possibly the rest of our lives, he was willing to stop and leave it where it was.

My heart took over at that point and forced my lips to recapture his. I felt his hand tangle itself in my hair while his other hand caressed my cheek. I pulled one of my hands from his bronze locks and grasped his hand that was on my cheek. I lifted it from my face and guided it down my body. I placed his hand on the side of my chest, just missing my breast. Edward's breath caught in his throat and he looked back down at me. "Are you sure, Bella. We don't have to."

"Edward, I've never been more sure of anything in my life. Please. I just want to be with you. I love you."

Edward bent down to place a loving kiss on my lips before moving his attention to my jaw and down to my neck. His hand that was on my rib cage moved to rub my peak through my shirt. I could feel my nipples harden and my back arched into his hand. His lips captured my mouth just as a moan tried to escape from my throat. Edward's hand released my breast to travel down to my waist. He lifted the hem of my shirt and tugged it up my body. We broke our kiss so he could pull it over my head. I moved my hands to his wife beater and pulled it from his body. We looked at each other as we were now shirtless.

I watched Edward's eyes take in all of my newly exposed skin. I smiled and reached behind my back to unsnap my bra. Edward reached over and gently pulled the straps from atop my shoulders, pushing them down my arms. His lips kissed the places where the straps had sat. Edward's hands returned to my chest and massaged my breast and nipples with loving care.

I could feel his arousal against my thigh. I reached down and unbuckled his belt while his hands caused me to moan a little more. I fumbled with the button on his pants. Edward reached down and helped me release the button and stood up so the pants could fall from his body. He kicked out of them and allowed me to see him in his tight black boxer briefs. I could see Edward's straining member against the soft cotton.

He crawled back on the bed and reached down to my waist to undo my pants as well. He unzipped my pants and pulled them from my body, kissing my thighs as they were exposed. We were left lying side by side in nothing but our underwear. Edward reached down and grabbed my behind, pulling me as close to him as possible. We rocked our hips against each other slightly which caused Edward to bury his head in my neck as he moaned in my ear.

I reached down and cupped him through the material of his briefs. I rubbed up and down. I felt his body shudder against me as I rubbed. I moved my other hand down to his waist to remove his last item of clothing. I pushed the material down as far as I could get it. Edward kicked his way out of the material, leaving him fully naked on the bed beside me. I pulled away slightly to look at this godlike creature beside me.

I pushed Edward's should so he was lying flat on his back. He looked confused at first. I straddled him for a moment so I could place a quick kiss on his lips. I kissed down his chest, occasionally nipping at his toned skin and licking places. I made my way down to where his six pack was. I licked the center line and blew a small breath of air across his stomach.

I continued lower until Edward's penis was directly in front of me. I lowered my mouth to it and placed a kiss on the tip.

"Bella…" Edward whispered. "You don't have to…"

"I know." I smiled at how much of a gentleman Edward still was.

I lowered my mouth to his body once again and took him in my mouth as far as I could. He was rather large so he would fit completely in my mouth. When his head reached the back of my mouth, I heard him moan loudly. I pulled away to quietly tell him he'd have to be a little more careful, just in case Alice and his parents came home. I went back down on him and bobbed my head while my hands stroked what wouldn't fit in my mouth. I gently sucked the head and tasted a little pre cum in my mouth. I had thought I would be disgusted by the thought of that in my mouth, but it only made me want more of him.

I sucked him with a little more enthusiasm. I licked his shaft and let my teeth lightly graze the sensitive skin as I bobbed up and down his length. Within a few moments I felt him jerk slightly in my mouth and explode. I drank all of him down as he came and rode out his orgasm. I had barely pulled away from him when Edward flipped me over so I was on my back and he was on top of me.

His hand reached down and pulled my soaked panties from my body. His knee nudged my legs apart. "It's time to return the favor, love."

He moved down my body, placing kisses along my stomach. He reached my center and gently touched my hot core. "You're so wet," he whispered.

He bent down to allow his tongue to swipe the length of my folds stopping on my sensitive bundle. He pulled it into his mouth and gently sucked. I grabbed a pillow to shove over my mouth in order to muffle the moans spilling from my mouth. While Edward's mouth worked on my clit, he slipped a finger into my core. He moved his tongue in a steady rhythm with his finger. He added a second finger a few seconds later and I quickly came around him. His tongue lapped up my juices as I waited for the bright lights behind my eyelids.

Edward crawled back up to me and positioned himself at my entrance. I looked up at him to see him once again silently asking me for permission. I nodded and reached up to wrap my arms around his neck. Edward pushed into me as gently as possible, allowing me to adjust to his size. He pushed the rest of the way into me, breaking my barrier.

"Oh shit!" Edward exclaimed. He pulled out of me and jumped off the bed to rush across the room to where his clothing laid.

I stared after him and immediately felt the loss of his body. I realized that he must not have wanted me as much as I wanted him, and began to reach for a blanket or something to cover myself. I looked back up at Edward to see him returning to the bed.

"Bella… what are you doing? Are you… Have you changed your mind?" He looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"I… well you… I mean, you jumped off me… I figured you had changed your mind." I closed my eyes and hoped to stop the tears that were still spilling over from when he broke through my virginity.

"Bella… I haven't changed my mind. It's just well, I forgot… you know, um… protection. I wasn't planning on this today."

I opened my eyes and looked down at Edward's hands. He had returned to the bed with his wallet and was pulling a condom from inside. I sighed and felt myself relax even though I was lying naked in front of Edward.

"Do you still want to continue? Because we can stop if you want." He sat on the bed beside me.

I sat up and grabbed the wrapped condom from Edward. I kissed him and opened the package. I helped him roll the condom on his shaft and he leaned over me once again. This time when he pushed into me, I felt no pain, only pleasure. The pleasure was great enough to cause both of us to moan into each other's mouth.

We rocked slowly against each other creating a slow, steady rhythm. After a few minutes of that slow pace, Edward started to speed up. He pushed into me with more force and enthusiasm, causing me to scream out in pleasure as I came for the second time. Edward reached down and massaged my clit as he continued to thrust into me. I had barely come down from my second orgasm as I could feel the pressure building again.

Edward gently pinched my bundle of nerves sending me towards the edge. "Cum for me Bella… I want to hear you say my name as you cum." His voice was rough, heavy, and filled with lust.

"Ed….ward…" I screamed before he captured my mouth with his as we both came together. His mouth released mine and moved along my jaw towards my ear.

"I love you Bella. I always will." He kissed my cheek before pulling out of me and cuddling beside me.

"I love you too, Edward."

The next day at dawn…

The next morning Emmett, Jasper, Rose, and I all arrived at the Masen's house to say good-bye. Their car was filled to the brink and a trailer was attached behind it. The Hales and my parents were all hugging Elizabeth and Edward Sr. Jasper and Alice were holding each other tightly while Edward and I held hands as tightly as we could.

All too soon it was time for them to leave. "Edward! I don't want you to leave me. What am I going to do without you?" I reached up to wrap my arms tightly around his neck.

"Bella… I don't want to be without you. I would stay if I could. I promise to see you for Christmas and spring break. I love you with all my heart." Edward placed a kiss on my cheek before cradling my face in his hands. He kissed my lips passionately one last time. He released my lips and reached up behind his neck to unclasp my hands.

"I love you, Edward. I'll never stop." I whispered before he turned to walk towards the car. I felt the tears sliding down my face as I saw Edward and Alice get into the backseat behind their parents. When the car pulled out onto the street, I collapsed in a heap on the driveway sobbing as the car got smaller in the distance.

I could vaguely feel two pairs of strong arms wrap around me and lift me up. I was placed in the back of my parents' car where I continued to be held as I sobbed uncontrollably. I had no idea how I would be able to keep living my life without my Edward here with me.

A/N: So, I hope that chapter was worth it. It's definitely one of my longest ones. I know it's a little sad, a little happy, and a little sad again. Even I had to cry a little when I thought of Edward leaving with his family and leaving Bella behind. I hope you all will review and let me know your thoughts. I'll try to get some writing done this week so at the very latest, you get another chapter before the weekend (or at least late Friday/early Saturday).

Much love…
